ARTISTIC JOURNEY

001 - Photo atelier Lucila Viso

Born in Argentina, trained in literature and fine arts in Santa Fe, Lucila developed very early on an artistic practice permeated by memory, silence and the trace.
His arrival in France in the mid-1970s marked the beginning of a foundational journey: changing territory, language, and light, while pursuing an inner quest already underway.

The early years are spent patiently building a personal language.
The work develops like a visual writing, attentive to the layers of time, to intimate resonances, to what persists rather than what imposes itself. Very early on, solo exhibitions accompanied this research, not as an end in itself, but as anchor points in an evolving journey.

This period lays the foundations for a work that seeks neither effect nor demonstration, but a profound accuracy: an art of emergence, where each form seems to be born from a threshold crossed.

Over the years, Lucila's work has deepened into an intimate relationship with inner time.
Forms become less frequent, spaces become denser, giving way to a plastic writing where silence, breathing and slowness become essential.

This period is marked by a particular attention to the notions of palimpsest, superimposed memory, and invisible traces.
The titles of the works and series evoke passages, mirrors, afterimages: so many attempts to grasp what escapes, what remains after the passage.

Traveling with the moon, Lucila explores a sensitive, almost nocturnal territory, where creation becomes an act of listening.
The work does not impose itself; it reveals itself, in a fragile balance between presence and effacement.

Lucila's work then opens up to dialogue with others, to encountering cultures that resonate deeply with her inner search.
It is in this context that a long and faithful partnership with Japan took place, which over time became a major focus of his career.

Franco-Japanese exchanges, regular exhibitions and recognition obtained in Japan nourish the work without ever diverting it from its essence.
On the contrary, they reinforce a shared focus on sobriety, depth, and the value of emptiness and the unspoken.

Alice and I evoke this passage towards otherness: entering another world without getting lost, accepting the shift in perspective, letting the work transform through contact with the elsewhere.
A dialogue that continues to enrich Lucila's artistic trajectory.

Today, Lucila's work is part of a living continuity, open to the world.
Recent projects demonstrate increased international circulation, in Europe as well as in Asia, without breaking with the foundations laid over the decades.

The work continues its journey with the same requirement: slowness, depth, fidelity to an inner search, while opening itself to new spaces of presentation and encounter.
Each exhibition becomes a moment of resonance, a point of contact between a mature work and contemporary perspectives.

Mundi is not a conclusion, but a current breath:
that of a work always in motion, attentive to the world, without ever renouncing its foundational silence.
